Distributed monitoring vs nrpe

Hi folks.

I'm in the process of getting a client onto nagios monitoring. I have a
central server in the office and was considering deploying a distributed
server to the client's office. I am wondering about these issues:

1. Is the plugin checking for nrpe safe and secure? It seems to be. So
wold anyone be able to describe it to me? I'm not against it though I
haven't really read up on it enough...

2. Is a distributed server the best way to handle things? I am really
only checking a router, a printer and a single server. On the server
I'll be checking mandatory services on a W2K box and Exchange services.

Thanks for any and all responses.
